Vertical Position/Scale
To Use
Use the Position control to set the vertical position of the waveform, and
the Scale control to set the vertical scale. Click on the controls and use
the multipurpose knobs to change the waveforms.
Behavior
Each waveform has its own vertical Position control. The control increases or decreases the
vertical position of the waveform 0.2 divisions (0.02 divisions using the FINE knob). Increasing
the position value of the waveform moves the waveform up, and decreasing the position moves
the waveform down.
Each waveform also has its own vertical Scale control. For a signal with a constant amplitude,
increasing the scale causes the waveform to appear smaller. Decreasing the scale causes the
waveform to appear larger.
For channel waveforms, the scale setting controls the vertical size of the acquisition window as
well as the display scale. The range and resolution of the scale value depends on the attached
probes and any other external factors that you may have specified.
Use the dedicated POSITION and SCALE knobs on the front panel to control the position and
scale of the selected waveform.
Offset
To Use
Use the Vertical Offset controls to set the offset value of the selected
waveform to shift the vertical acquisition window to match the
waveform data that you want to acquire.
Click a channel at the top of the control window to select the vertical input channel. Click the
Offset control to map it to one of the multipurpose knobs, and use the knob to set the offset value.
Behavior
Use the Offset control to eliminate clipping the waveform. The offset control affects the vertical
acquisition window by subtracting a DC bias from the waveform. This moves the level at the
vertical center of the acquisition window of the selected channel. Visualize offset as scrolling the
acquisition window toward the top of a large signal for increased offset values and scrolling
toward the bottom for decreased offset values.
The offset control affects the waveform display by defining the channel reference indicator to
match the offset rather than the ground level. The offset affects only channel waveforms as
compared to the position control that affects all waveforms, including math and reference
waveforms.
